"It's hard to get clear-cut evidence on what impact the personal actions we
take in our lives can have on climate change.
While there has long been a focus on how to reduce the carbon footprint of what
we buy, do and eat, it's harder to pin down the impact of many other measures
people take, from community engagement and how we choose to vote, to where we
save our money and the impact we can have in our workplaces.
But a growing body of research is revealing just how effective such other
actions can be. In short, it seems, they can change a lot more than we might
think.
Now a project named Shift (Super High-Impact Initiative for Fixing Tomorrow)
has created a questionnaire to help guide people towards their most impactful
climate actions, tailored to each person's individual circumstances and based
on scientific research.
Kimberly Nicholas, professor at Lund University Centre for Sustainability
Studies in Sweden, launched the guide alongside Project Drawdown, a US
non-profit which focuses on science-based solutions to climate change. The
BBC spoke to Nicholas to find out which personal actions really tend to make
the most difference for the climate, according to the evidence."
